Thank God I have weaned 2 and the 3rd? He is almost 2 and would rather die and be eaten alive than wean. I have been breastfeeding for 6 years straight and am ready to wean!!! I think I might try the night away thing too ;)</p>Boston Mamas commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e2011570e51541970b2009-06-09T16:35:10Z2009-06-09T16:35:11ZBoston Mamashttp://www.bostonmamas.comWow, that is awesome that she pounded it back!

Laurel was similarly resistant to the bottle - after lots of screaming (everyone involved) she basically went from boob to sippy cup. -Christine </p>Karen (Submommy) commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e2011570c7c85f970b2009-06-06T06:45:05Z2009-06-06T06:45:06ZKaren (Submommy)http://submommy.blogspot.comI took off for the weekend with a dear friend when Girl was about 6 months old.

I was completely freaked out.</p>
<p>I disappeared for 2 days, and voila! Bottle. As SubHub put it, &quot;She got hungry.&quot; </p>
<p>It opened up a new world for me. It made me WANT to keep nursing her, because I knew I could go away and not be a milk machine, and she wouldn&#39;t starve to death. </p>
<p>Sweet freedom. </p>Jozet at Halushki commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e201156fd26b03970c2009-06-06T05:15:04Z2009-06-06T05:15:05ZJozet at Halushkihttp://www.Halushki.comMy second two didn't wean until 2 1/2 yo.

<p>I salute your bravery in letting go! Looks like it was just the thing to get you both started on the road to independence. ;-) I tell you what though, I just hung out with my best friend and her newborn a couple days ago, and I realized how much I miss breastfeeding. Sniff sniff.</p>Angela commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e2011570bfb0b5970b2009-06-04T20:15:38Z2009-06-04T20:15:38ZAngelahttp://www.oneatlantamommy.blogspot.comYou lucky duck!

I brought my pump with me and froze milk at the hotel so that it&#39;d keep in my cooler for the flight. But when I went through security, the sign said that mothers could only bring breast milk if they were traveling with their baby. Huh? If I had my baby with me, would I really be returning with 2 days worth of milk? The security guy was completely baffled and my male married but childless coworker (with whom I&#39;d only been working for a couple of months) was white as a ghost hearing all this boob talk. Frustrating at the time but comical now that I look back on it.</p>Mary @ Holy Mackerel commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e2011570bd3996970b2009-06-04T00:47:22Z2009-06-04T00:47:22ZMary @ Holy Mackerelhttp://marymoores.blogspot.comI'd like to forget my boobs once in a while.

I used to pump and then store my milk in the fridge in the hospital (my son had cancer when he was a baby), and I would always almost forget it too. </p>tyne commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e2011570bcf22e970b2009-06-03T22:09:42Z2009-06-03T22:09:42Ztynehttp://tynerbock.blogspot.comHonestly, you are so freakin' hilarious.

<p>I know I&#39;d leave them in a dressing room at the mall, and then if I found them again, I&#39;d wonder if anyone else touched them and be totally weirded out about every putting them back on again. </p>
<p>I&#39;d then have to then order a new pair. And you bet I&#39;d order them LARGER and PERKIER.</p>
<p>With that tangent over, I&#39;ll add I&#39;m glad that Margot took a bottle without problem and gave you some free time. </p>tuesday commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e2011570bcb57e970b2009-06-03T20:56:19Z2009-06-03T20:56:20Ztuesdayhttp://agirlandherlife.blogspot.comAfter buying too many adiris, my kids of course hated them.

My son pretty much refused, and #3 just didn&#39;t need to use one ever really...I think she did maybe twice.</p>
<p>Also, my #3 didn&#39;t do solids until 9 months, and now, 3 months later she&#39;s eating the same meal as the rest of the family. (and she has no teeth) Go figure.</p>
<p>Glad Margot did fine!</p>Julie @ The Mom Slant commented on 'Straight to the bottle'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c83069e201156fc722f1970c2009-06-03T19:10:58Z2009-06-03T19:10:58ZJulie @ The Mom Slanthttp://themomslant.comI'm just so impressed that she takes the Adiri.

When I start getting that horrible &quot;why am I am stuck to this baby, I&#39;m beginning to think he&#39;s a parasite&quot; feeling I know it&#39;s time to let go. For me that was the only bad part about breastfeeding, their absolute dependency on me and even though it&#39;s sad, when it&#39;s finally over one feels... well, FREE! Oh, and you know what I think is fantastic? Husband plane duty. Ha! </p>
